OU desire, you say, my important thought on the subject of an early marriage, by way of answer to the numberless objections that have bean made by numerous persons to your own. You may remember when you consulted ne on the occasion that | thought youth on s to be no objection, Indeed, from the marriages that r my observation, I am rather inclined to think that early st chance of happiness, he temper and habits of the young have not become so stiff and un- complying as when more advanced in life; they form more easily to each other, and hence many occasions of disquiet are removed. And if youth has less of that prudence which is necessary to manage a family, yet the parents 4 older friends of young married persons are ge lily at hand to afford advice which amply supplies that defect; and by ly marriage youth is sooner formed to regular and useful life. Particuler clreumstances of particular persons may possibly sometimes make {t prudent to delay entering into that state, but in general the pre- sumption is in nat vor. Late marriages are often attended, too, with the further inconventence that there is not the same chance the parents will live to their offspring educated, “Late children, a Spanish proverb, “are carly orphans.” A melancholy reflection to those whose case it may be! With us in America marriages are generally in the morning of life; our children are therefore educated and settled in the world by noon, and thus, our business being done, we have afternoon and evening of cheerful leisure to ourselves such os our friend at present enjoy: By these early rt ‘8 we are blessed with more children, Hence the swift progress of jon among us, unparalleled in Europe.
